Metro Transit Alert  On July 3 Metro buses will resume operating at full
seating capacity

 

	
On Saturday, July 3, all Metro service, including buses, Dart vehicles,
streetcars and water taxis, will resume operating at full capacity. Metro's
regional partner transit agencies are following suit in lifting load
restrictions. 

All public transportation passengers must continue to wear masks while on
board transit vehicles and at indoor transit facilities in compliance with
the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) mandate. Passengers
also must continue to maintain a six-foot distance from bus drivers, except
when paying fare. 

The following agencies are removing signs or barriers that have blocked off
seats during the pandemic: Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County
Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and Washington State
Ferries. 

There are no other route or schedule changes for Metro service at this time.

King County Metro
Starting Saturday, July 3, normal passenger capacity will resume on Metro
buses, on-demand services such as Via to Transit, Seattle Streetcar, water
taxis, community vans and shuttles, vanpools, and Access paratransit.

Community Transit
As of Thursday, July 1, normal passenger capacity has resumed on all bus
routes, including ST Express bus routes operated by Community Transit, and
DART paratransit services. The RideStore has lifted its capacity
restrictions and is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. Customers can use
Community Transit's bus seat availability tool to check the capacity on
their route. 

Everett Transit
As of Thursday, July 1, normal passenger capacity has resumed on all bus
routes and paratransit service.

Kitsap Transit
As of July 1, normal passenger capacity has resumed for buses, ferries and
vanpools, however, the process of removing seat bands from all vehicles will
not be finished overnight. Also, regular operations will resume at Annapolis
ferry dock, the agency will drop shadow-bus trips, and will reinstate
certain bus routes. 

Pierce Transit 
As of July 1, normal passenger capacity has resumed on all bus routes,
including ST Express bus routes operated by Pierce Transit, and SHUTTLE
paratransit service. The Bus Shop customer service center at Tacoma Dome
Station has restored its regular lobby hours of 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on
weekdays. 

Sound Transit
Starting July 3, normal passenger capacity will resume on Link light rail
and ST Express bus routes 522, 542, 545, 550 and 554, operated by King
County Metro.   

On Sounder, Tacoma Link and all other ST Express routes, normal capacity has
resumed as of July 1. 

Washington State Ferries
Starting July 1, normal passenger capacity has resumed on ferries, and
customers are no longer encouraged to stay in their vehicles.

Returning to full capacity on transit services comes as the Seattle Mariners
and the Seattle Storm have announced a return to full capacity at their
games starting July 2, and Sounders FC will do so starting July 7. The
Seattle Seahawks and the University of Washington Huskies football teams
plan a return to full capacity for home games this fall.
